In this whole discussion the board hasn't said a single word. They are listening to try and determine what's the way forward. It surprises me that you would outright attack them like this? As someone who chose to step down from that same exact board, I find the accusation that they aren't trying to do what the membership wants, and where aligned, what the community wants, a little hurtful. My experience is that the board has never ignored.
This is exactly the problem: the change in 2012 was based solely on what a (small, but loud) part of the *membership* wanted, and it was changing policy-relevant parts of the AGM without involving the AP *community* on this. I am fairly sure I said it back then as well: the way new charging schemes are usually presented ("take this or leave it") does not actually help - if people overall agree with the changes, like "it will get cheaper for me!", but still disagree with the policy implications, what are they supposed to vote for? My memory of specific events and "who said what" is getting muddled, though, and as I said, I was just too tired back in 2012 to put up a bigger fight. (The whole way all aspects of 2007-01 were handled by the board did not exactly feel like "gettings support" anyway - it more felt like "wading through morasses of subtle hindrance") Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
